Bit of an odd one - I'm soon to be receiving incoming calls for 40/45 minute telephone convos (not dodgy ones! :rotfl:) as part of my business.

I'll be getting paid for this :j - but by a 3rd party, not the caller.

Is there any way - sort of like via a switchboard or conference call type set up - that the caller can ring a 'central' number & they patch it through to me - as I don't want to disclose my location etc.

I don't want to use a mobile - however I have considered Skype via PC.

Any suggestions most welcome! :)

Cheers!

    I use a company called Sipgate. They are a company who offer internet telephone services and for my needs I chose an 0845 number for people to contact me.

    Might be worth a look (and it's free).
  • Try to read more about these companies; FreedomVoice, Ringcentral or phone people. They offer a virtual PBX system that would cater to your communication needs.
